The Ben Shapiro Show - WORD VOMIT and NARCISSISM For President!

00:00:00.000 Your movie is really funny.

00:00:01.000 It's really funny.

00:00:03.000 By myself, laughing out loud hysterically today.

00:00:06.000 It is one of the most important contributions to cinema in American history.

00:00:10.000 Your goal is to conduct an investigation into something key to the culture war.

00:00:14.000 There are so many great moments in there.

00:00:16.000 Were these people real that are in this movie?

00:00:19.000 It's a great film.

00:00:19.000 I highly recommend everybody go see this movie.

00:00:21.000 Mazel Tov is Ben's people would say.

00:00:26.000 Am I Racist?

00:00:27.000 Rated PG-13.

00:00:28.000 In theaters now.

00:00:30.000 Well, folks, Kamala Harris is pouring money into this race. 1.00

00:00:32.000 She is brat and she is joy and she is campaigning with Oprah Winfrey and she's got a heap load of problems. 1.00

00:00:38.000 I will explain in a moment. 0.87

00:00:39.000 First, Am I Racist is the number one new comedy in America.

00:00:41.000 It's now playing only in theaters.

00:00:43.000 Get tickets and showtimes for your local theaters right now at amiracist.com.

00:00:47.000 So, Kamala Harris, she's out there campaigning. 1.00

00:00:49.000 She's brat. 1.00

00:00:50.000 She's got all the energy. 0.98

00:00:52.000 She's got all the joy.

00:00:54.000 And she's got a bunch of problems. 1.00

00:00:55.000 So she's been going around campaigning.

00:00:57.000 She is a word salad queen, as we all know. 0.97

00:00:59.000 She's been campaigning with Oprah Winfrey.

00:01:01.000 But she's got a major, major problem. 1.00

00:01:03.000 Remember, one of the pieces of math that Joe Biden had suggested as to why he would not drop out is he was afraid that whatever Kamala Harris picked up in terms of minority support, she would drop among blue collar white workers.

00:01:13.000 And that's true.

00:01:15.000 That's true because she's terrible.

00:01:17.000 at this.

00:01:17.000 Truly terrible at this.

00:01:19.000 I want to begin today by pointing out an ad that Kamala Harris' super PACs have put out.

00:01:25.000 She is lagging among men.

00:01:26.000 Particularly white men.

00:01:28.000 Really, really lagging. 0.54

00:01:29.000 You know why?

00:01:30.000 She doesn't know how to talk to them. 0.55

00:01:31.000 In the same way that people in the media say that Trump fans, they don't know how to talk to ladies or whatever.

00:01:35.000 Okay.

00:01:36.000 But the Harris campaign has no idea how to talk to men.

00:01:39.000 At all.

00:01:40.000 Like, no clue.

00:01:41.000 They put out, literally, one of their super PACs put out the single worst political ad I have ever seen in my entire life today.

00:01:51.000 It is the worst ad I have ever seen in my entire life because no one who wrote this ad has ever met a man. 0.88

00:01:57.000 Hey, white dudes. 1.00

00:01:59.000 So, I think we're all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck. 1.00

00:02:02.000 Every time you go online, it's the same story. 0.99

00:02:04.000 We're the problem.

00:02:04.000 It's just terrible, you know?

00:02:06.000 And yeah, some white dudes are. 0.98

00:02:08.000 Trump and all his minor buddies- Pause it right there.

00:02:10.000 I'm sorry, that's amazing.

00:02:12.000 That's amazing.

00:02:12.000 Pause it right there.

00:02:13.000 No dude has ever said this to another dude.

00:02:15.000 No dude.

00:02:16.000 Ever.

00:02:17.000 When it's not scripted by a woman. 0.99

00:02:18.000 No dudes ever.

00:02:19.000 Hey dudes, you know?

00:02:20.000 There are a bunch of ladies out there. 1.00

00:02:21.000 They're saying, we're the problem.

00:02:23.000 And you know what?

00:02:23.000 They're right.

00:02:23.000 Some of us are totally the problem.

00:02:25.000 What?

00:02:26.000 That's not even how you do an ad.

00:02:27.000 And you think that where they're going in the ad is, they keep saying we're the problem.

00:02:31.000 But we're not the problem.

00:02:32.000 We're the makers.

00:02:33.000 We're the people who are going down, doing the dangerous jobs.

00:02:36.000 And those are the people that Democrats support.

00:02:38.000 Like that's where you think it's going.

00:02:40.000 That's not where it's going, because they can't talk to dudes, because ain't a dude writing this ad.

00:02:45.000 It's some woke 22-year-old female intern at an ad agency for White Dudes for Hairs writing this ad. 0.99

00:02:51.000 Hey dudes, you know, they say we're the problem.

00:02:53.000 And you know what? 0.80

00:02:54.000 They're f***ing right. 0.92

00:02:54.000 We are the problem. 0.92

00:02:55.000 It's because of our balls. 1.00

00:02:57.000 Here we go. 1.00

00:02:58.000 At worst, shouting nonsense in their stupid red hats and acting like they speak for us when they don't. 1.00

00:03:04.000 All they've ever done is screw us over. 1.00

00:03:07.000 But if you're not on the MAGA train, where do you go? 0.92

00:03:09.000 Isn't it just swapping out one crappy option for another?

00:03:12.000 Then it hit me.

00:03:14.000 This isn't about picking teams.

00:03:16.000 It's about who's got a plan that's gonna make life better for me and my family.

00:03:20.000 Okay, pause it.

00:03:22.000 I love that.

00:03:22.000 I love this.

00:03:23.000 So first of all, I love the, also the stereotype that they will never ever say out loud, that is embedded in this ad, is that unlike females, men will do their own research and think about policy. 0.58

00:03:34.000 Right?

00:03:35.000 That's the actual thing that they're doing in this ad.

00:03:36.000 Like, I'm a man, and you know what?

00:03:38.000 What am I going to do?

00:03:39.000 Just switch one crappy option for another?

00:03:40.000 No! 0.95

00:03:41.000 I went down the rabbit hole.

00:03:42.000 I started looking at Excel spreadsheets.

00:03:44.000 Like a man would. 0.98

00:03:46.000 I started looking at the actual policy specifics of Kamala Harris and her team.

00:03:50.000 Like, oh my god, these people, like, these people.

00:03:55.000 You thought they were going to appeal to men?

00:03:56.000 Wrong you are! 1.00

00:03:57.000 They're basically saying that if you're a man, the only way they can appeal to you is by desperately hoping that you ignore Kamala Harris.

00:04:04.000 Kamala Harris's picture in this ad appears one time.

00:04:08.000 Check out Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, and before you jump down my throat, they're actually talking to guys like us.

00:04:15.000 No lectures, no P.S., just real solutions to protect our freedoms and help us take care of the people who matter.

00:04:22.000 And honestly, I think Harris and Walz are the ones to make that happen.

00:04:27.000 End of the day, you're your own man.

00:04:29.000 It's your call. 0.99

00:04:30.000 But if anyone gives you crap about it, tell them it's none of their damn business. 0.99

00:04:36.000 Oh my god, and they're using the Tim Walls, the Tim Walls line at the end. 1.00

00:04:39.000 It's none of their damn business. 0.98

00:04:41.000 I love that. 0.99

00:04:42.000 That is one of the great ads.

00:04:44.000 Paid for by Beige Rainbow Pack.

00:04:48.000 Wow.

00:04:49.000 Yeah, the Beige Rainbow Pack, where all the men go to. 0.99

00:04:51.000 Beige Rainbow. 0.85

00:04:53.000 Which sounds like the world's whitest gay bar. 1.00

00:04:56.000 Beige Rainbow.

00:04:59.000 Seriously, wow.

00:05:01.000 These people understand men at a root gut level.

00:05:04.000 They really understand men.

00:05:05.000 You can do your own research, but I'm telling you, before you come at me and shove it down my throat, I'm voting for that.

00:05:14.000 Also, I do love the assumption.

00:05:16.000 The core assumption of the ad is men hate her.

00:05:18.000 That is the core assumption of the ad, right? 0.98

00:05:19.000 It's like, you know, if we can't vote for that douchebag Trump, then will I vote for Kamala? 0.96

00:05:25.000 Listen, before you sock me directly in the nuts, let me tell you, These... She's gonna lose men by a thousand points. 1.00

00:05:33.000 There are men not yet born who will vote against Kamala Harris.

00:05:37.000 White dudes for Harris.

00:05:39.000 White dudes for Harris. 1.00

00:05:40.000 Both they and Hezbollah are missing their tits today. 1.00

00:05:42.000 Kamala Harris is a disaster on many fronts, including the economic front. 0.99

00:05:46.000 We are looking at a proposed top income tax rate of nearly 40% under Kamala Harris, 7% hike in corporate taxes, and a capital gains tax on unrealized gains.

00:05:54.000 Unrealized gains, unconstitutional, totally crazy, destroys American business.

00:05:57.000 But wait, there's more.

00:05:58.000 They want to add almost $2 trillion to our already staggering $2 trillion deficit.

00:06:03.000 It's like the end of Thelma and Louise with these folks.

00:06:06.000 It's right over the cliff.

00:06:07.000 Now, I know what you're thinking.

00:06:08.000 Ben, how can I protect my hard-earned money?

00:06:10.000 Well, my friends, this is where our trusted sponsors at Birch Gold Group come in.

00:06:13.000 Birch Gold can help you convert your existing IRA or 401k into a gold IRA.

00:06:18.000 A tax-sheltered, inflation-resistant golden ticket to financial security.

00:06:21.000 And here's the kicker.

00:06:22.000 You don't pay a penny out of pocket for the conversion.

00:06:24.000 Look, I've been working with Birchgold for years.

00:06:26.000 They are the real deal.

00:06:53.000 989898 for your free info kit today. So Kamala Harris is out there because she can't reach out 1.00

00:06:58.000 to men, because she is dragging with men, and she really is.

00:07:01.000 Because of that, she is out there trying to reach out and touch people with Oprah, which

00:07:05.000 means she's out on the campaign trail just vomiting 360 head spinning Linda Blair and the Exorcist 1.00

00:07:11.000 style word vomit. 1.00

00:07:13.000 Just word vomit everywhere. 0.95

00:07:14.000 The narcissism on the Democratic side of the aisle is insane.

00:07:17.000 Kamala Harris, who is... She was literally put in place by an upper-level coterie of the Democrats without ever having won a single primary vote and is the emptiest candidate in American history. 0.99

00:07:29.000 Totally empty.

00:07:31.000 It would be an understatement to call her an empty vessel.

00:07:35.000 Because there's still a vessel when there's an empty vessel.

00:07:37.000 There's not even a vessel with Kamala Harris.

00:07:38.000 She's just a vacuum. 1.00

00:07:40.000 She's a black hole of suck, Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:07:42.000 So yesterday, she was out on the campaign trail with Oprah. 1.00

00:07:46.000 And you want to talk about vacuousness at an insane level.

00:07:49.000 It's almost like the matter and antimatter of vacuousness hitting one another.

00:07:54.000 I'm shocked that the universe did not actually implode based on this.

00:07:57.000 So, Kamala Harris offered this word salad when asked about America.

00:08:02.000 And this is what, when you elevate narcissists to the top of the American public heap, this is what you get. 0.95

00:08:08.000 Sex scandals.

00:08:10.000 We love our country.

00:08:11.000 I love our country.

00:08:13.000 I know we all do.

00:08:14.000 That's why everybody's here right now.

00:08:15.000 We love our country.

00:08:15.000 who will elect these people.

00:08:16.000 Don't make her president. 0.98

00:08:17.000 Here we go.

00:08:18.000 We love our country.

00:08:21.000 I love our country.

00:08:23.000 I know we all do.

00:08:24.000 That's why everybody's here right now.

00:08:25.000 We love our country.

00:08:26.000 We take pride in the privilege of being American.

00:08:33.000 And this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans,

00:08:43.000 Understanding is so much more in common than what separates us.

00:08:47.000 So much more in common than what separates us.

00:08:50.000 Let's come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people.

00:08:57.000 What kind of character?

00:08:57.000 We are an optimistic people.

00:09:00.000 Americans, by character, are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations.

00:09:09.000 We believe in what is possible.

00:09:12.000 We believe in what can be.

00:09:14.000 And we believe in fighting for that.

00:09:18.000 That's how we came into being.

00:09:20.000 Because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country, one of the greatest expressions of patriotism is to fight for the ideals of who we are,

00:09:36.000 which includes freedom.

00:09:37.000 Of who we are.

00:09:38.000 To make decisions about your own body, freedom to be safe from gun violence.

00:09:42.000 Did you know America was founded by abortion?

00:09:43.000 Freedom. Did you know that?

00:09:44.000 To have access to the gun control.

00:09:44.000 Oh, did you know that it was founded on gun control?

00:09:46.000 Freedom to be who you are and just be, to love who you love openly and with pride.

00:09:49.000 Yeah, it's true.

00:09:50.000 The founders were big advocates.

00:09:52.000 Freedom to just be.

00:09:53.000 And rights advocates, loved it.

00:09:56.000 Just be.

00:09:57.000 Just freedom to be.

00:09:58.000 And that's who we are.

00:10:01.000 We believe in all that.

00:10:02.000 And so this is a moment where we stand knowing what we are fighting for.

00:10:07.000 We're not fighting against.

00:10:10.000 It's what we're fighting for.

00:10:13.000 Thank you.

00:10:15.000 I'm sorry.

00:10:15.000 If that appeals to you, then you deserve precisely what you get.

00:10:20.000 I don't know how you listen to that person and don't want to hang yourself.

00:10:23.000 I don't understand.

00:10:24.000 I really don't. 0.97

00:10:25.000 That is the most vacuous bulls**t I have ever heard in my entire life and it went on for two minutes. 0.95

00:10:29.000 I made it about 30 seconds before I started contemplating thoughts of self-harm. 0.98

00:10:34.000 Like, that is... This class, these are the people.

00:10:37.000 These are the people.

00:10:39.000 And is it any wonder that their extraordinary narcissism and emptiness just applies to every area of their life?

00:10:46.000 And it's true, again, so much throughout American politics, across party lines.

00:10:50.000 Like an empty class of people who don't actually have ideas, have impulses, and have a narcissistic desire for glory.

00:10:56.000 It is so amazing.

00:10:57.000 It is so amazing.

00:10:59.000 That word salad right there, in which basically, by the way, her conclusion is, if you actually tried to analyze what she's saying there, that America was founded on abortion, gun control, and trans rights.

00:11:09.000 That's what she actually said.

00:11:10.000 That was what characterized the people who made this country, is freedom.

00:11:18.000 It's true.

00:11:18.000 If you look at the founders, loved, loved.

00:11:21.000 We're super into polyamorous pansexualism.

00:11:23.000 Loved it.

00:11:23.000 doesn't explain how the American Revolution happened, and also freedom to just be and to love who you want to

00:11:29.000 love.

00:11:29.000 It's true.

00:11:30.000 If you look at the founders, loved, loved.

00:11:32.000 Were super into polyamorous pansexualism.

00:11:37.000 Loved it.

00:11:38.000 Super into it. 0.95

00:11:38.000 What a clown show we have created in this country that Kamala Harris is considered 0.95

00:11:43.000 an upper-level presidential candidate. 0.84

00:11:44.000 In fact, even Oprah had to step in to save Kamala, which is amazing. 0.94

00:11:48.000 Because, again, Oprah is the essence of vacuity, and she had to step in as the more substantive counterpart here from Kamala. 1.00

00:11:55.000 Kamala was asked a question, and we know that anytime there's a question mark at the end of a sentence, Kamala Harris just starts to frizz out like a character from that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:12:07.000 From Total Recall.

00:12:09.000 Here we go.

00:12:11.000 This again gets to the point about, what does leadership really look like?

00:12:15.000 And is it about you or is it about the people?

00:12:18.000 Is it about running on problems or fixing problems?

00:12:22.000 My work and my career has always been about saying, let's fix problems.

00:12:28.000 Let's address the needs.

00:12:29.000 Name a problem you fixed.

00:12:30.000 We know it's within our capacity to do that.

00:12:31.000 Name one.

00:12:32.000 So to answer Justin's question, now that that bill has gone and hasn't passed, will you reintroduce that?

00:12:38.000 Absolutely, and when I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure that bill gets to my desk and I will sign it into law.

00:12:47.000 First of all, presidents don't introduce bills, Congress introduces bills.

00:12:49.000 Second of all, his original question was about a specific bill being introduced, and she launches into this absolutely empty garbage about how she's there to solve problems because of all the problems that she solved.

00:13:00.000 She could not solve a Sudoku. 1.00

00:13:03.000 She is both stupid and vacuous. 1.00

00:13:05.000 And she's also, I love when she says, you know, leadership is about serving the people. 1.00

00:13:09.000 When have you served the people?

00:13:11.000 As Attorney General of the state of California, we should recall, she literally refused to serve the people. 1.00

00:13:16.000 The people in California voted for a proposition called Prop 8.

00:13:19.000 I know, I was a Californian.

00:13:20.000 I voted in favor of Prop 8.

00:13:21.000 Prop 8 enshrined a traditional marriage.

00:13:24.000 As the law of the land in the state of California in the Constitution didn't outlaw gay weddings or something, didn't outlaw people living as they wish to live.

00:13:32.000 All it did is say that the only version of marriage that would be actually recognized by the state of California was male-female.

00:13:38.000 She was Attorney General right after that.

00:13:40.000 She came in.

00:13:41.000 This was appealed to the United Circuit Court of Appeals.

00:13:43.000 She refused to defend it.

00:13:44.000 When she says that she's there to stand on behalf of the people, no one believes that she can't even win a vote.

00:13:48.000 She can't win a vote. 0.85

00:13:51.000 I mean, our politics is ridiculous, but there are serious things happening in the world. 0.94

00:13:54.000 Terror attacks continue to persist in Israel. 0.83

00:13:56.000 An ongoing war in the north of Israel is about to break out into the open.

00:14:01.000 The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews remains on the ground, just as they've been since the war began, constantly evaluating and addressing both urgent and long-term needs.

00:14:09.000 Now as we approach the one-year anniversary of the October 7th terrorist attacks, a day that should remind everybody of the real evil that exists in the world, the Fellowship is launching a new initiative called Flags of Fellowship.

00:14:18.000 It's an opportunity for us to remember the victims, honor the heroes, pray for those still held hostage, and highlight the unwavering support of Christians for Israel and the Jewish people.

00:14:25.000 On October 6th, thousands of Americans across the country will plant flags in their churchyards to honor the victims of October 7th.

00:14:31.000 This powerful visual tribute sends a clear message we remember and we won't forget.

00:14:35.000 Her generous donation today not only provides a flag symbolizing your support, but fuels the Fellowship's ongoing emergency efforts in the Holy Land.

00:14:42.000 Don't stay silent.

00:14:43.000 Don't stay on the sidelines.

00:14:43.000 As anti-Semitism spreads like wildfire, Israel needs you now.

00:14:46.000 Visit BenForTheFellowship.org today.

00:14:48.000 That's BenForTheFellowship.org.

00:14:50.000 God bless and thank you.

00:14:51.000 But she does try to project.

00:14:53.000 Inauthentic toughness. 0.95

00:14:54.000 So suddenly, Kamala Harris, the same person who said that America was founded on gun control, she says that she'll shoot a bad guy if a bad guy comes into her house.

00:15:02.000 By the way, that is not true.

00:15:04.000 I'm sorry, that is not true.

00:15:05.000 In the state of California, you have to seriously consider whether to defend yourself if someone actually breaks into your house.

00:15:09.000 You might go to J-Hill.

00:15:11.000 I used to live there.

00:15:12.000 I know.

00:15:12.000 She doesn't have to worry about that anyway, since she lives in the Naval Observatory.

00:15:18.000 Here we go.

00:15:20.000 I'm a gun owner.

00:15:21.000 Tim Mears is a gun owner.

00:15:21.000 I do not know that!

00:15:24.000 If somebody breaks in my house, they're getting shot.

00:15:28.000 Yes, yes.

00:15:29.000 I hear that.

00:15:30.000 I hear that.

00:15:31.000 Probably should not have said that.

00:15:35.000 My staff will deal with that later.

00:15:39.000 Oh, she's so authentic!

00:15:40.000 She's so authentic!

00:15:42.000 Uh-huh.

00:15:42.000 Okay, well, here's the thing.

00:15:44.000 I think the American people, we have this competing impulse, right?

00:15:47.000 So, part of the impulse is, elect the person who wants the attention.

00:15:50.000 That person, are they good on TV?

00:15:52.000 Can they speak?

00:15:53.000 Do they have that pizzazz?

00:15:55.000 Do they excite us?

00:15:56.000 Do they make us love them?

00:15:58.000 Part of us wants that, and part of us is like, well, you know, actually, maybe they should be good at the actual policy.

00:16:03.000 Maybe.

00:16:03.000 That might be good.

00:16:04.000 And those two impulses are totally at war with one another.

00:16:07.000 I understand there's a large segment of the Republican base that finds President Trump absolutely fascinating as a human being.

00:16:13.000 And they also love the fame and the glitz and the glory and the razzmatazz and the gold gilding and all the rest of it.

00:16:18.000 But for many of us, we just like the policy.

00:16:21.000 And when it comes to President Trump, the thing I like about President Trump is the things he did when he was the President of the United States, for the most part.

00:16:27.000 That is the thing that I care about.

00:16:28.000 Because again, I don't view politicians as people I want to hang out with.

00:16:32.000 I know too many of them for that.

00:16:34.000 I don't view politicians as people who I think are the world's most interesting human beings who I can't wait to watch on TV.

00:16:40.000 Because they're not.

00:16:42.000 What I view them as, as plumbers, will they do the job or will they not?

00:16:45.000 When Donald Trump was president, he did the job.

00:16:47.000 He and his team did the job.

00:16:49.000 Kamala Harris is part of the worst presidential team in American history. 1.00

00:16:53.000 So that is the thing I care about.

00:16:54.000 And I think deep down, Americans know that, but we have to get out of the mindset of simply putting people... And again, I think it's a minority mindset.

00:17:01.000 I really do.

00:17:01.000 I think that is why you so often see polls in general elections where they're like, I can't believe this is the race.

00:17:08.000 Primary voters are the most engaged.

00:17:09.000 Primary voters are the ones who want to fall in love.

00:17:12.000 Most voters just want to fall in, leave me alone and do your job.

00:17:16.000 Which is why Kamala Harris actually has a bit of a problem on her hands. 1.00

00:17:20.000 Kamala Harris has been wildly outspending Donald Trump online. 0.98

00:17:23.000 Like wildly so.

00:17:24.000 According to the New York Times, Harris outspent Donald Trump 20 to one on Facebook and Instagram in the week surrounding their debate.

00:17:31.000 20 to one.

00:17:32.000 $12.2 million to $611,000 on Meta's platforms, according to company records.

00:17:38.000 Since Harris entered the race, according to the New York Times, her campaign has overwhelmed the Trump operation with an avalanche of digital advertising, outspending his by tens of millions of dollars and setting off alarm among some Republicans.

00:17:50.000 Four years ago, Trump drastically outspent Democrats online early in the election cycle.

00:17:55.000 Now Trump is making a very different bet that emphasizes the unique appeal of his online brand, the durability of a donor list built over nearly a decade, and his belief in the power of television.

00:18:04.000 So, in Pennsylvania, for example, after the debate, Harris spent $1.3 million geotargeting Pennsylvania.

00:18:12.000 Trump spent $22,000.

00:18:12.000 In Michigan, she laid out $1.5 million.

00:18:13.000 In Michigan, she laid out $1.5 million.

00:18:18.000 He spends $35,000.

00:18:22.000 Trump's campaign has spent a lot more heavily on Google, but even on Google, Harris's PACs

00:18:26.000 are doubling the spending, like $26 million to $13 million since she joined the race.

00:18:30.000 Thank you.

00:18:32.000 Suffice to say, Trump needs to get a lot more active online, but with all of those systemic advantages, with the pouring in of the money, with the media sucking up her every nonsense, she is still running dead even with Donald Trump.

00:18:45.000 According to the brand new Emerson College poll, Trump and Vice President Harris Our neck and neck.

00:18:52.000 In Georgia, Trump is winning 50-47.

00:18:54.000 In Arizona and Wisconsin, he is slightly ahead 49-48.

00:18:57.000 They're dead heats.

00:18:58.000 In Pennsylvania, he is slightly ahead 48-47.

00:19:00.000 In Nevada, they're tied at 48.

00:19:02.000 In North Carolina, Harris is up 1, 49-48.

00:19:04.000 In Michigan, 49-47.

00:19:09.000 So, bottom line is, this is a dead heat.

00:19:11.000 She's poured the money in, and people aren't changing their opinion about her.

00:19:14.000 That is a major problem for her, and there are a bunch of troubles that are underneath the surface for Harris.

00:19:18.000 There's a lot going on in the world.

00:19:19.000 It's easy to get distracted with all of that.

00:19:21.000 Maybe you didn't file your taxes.

00:19:22.000 Or maybe you have back taxes or unfiled returns.

00:19:24.000 Handling that alone can be a huge mistake.

00:20:26.000 All the troubles for Trump are right there out on the surface.

00:20:27.000 You can see them. 0.99

00:20:28.000 You can see when he makes a dumb comment at a rally. 0.87

00:20:30.000 You can see because the media will highlight everything he says, whether it's true or not. 0.98

00:20:34.000 With her, it's all roiling under the surface.

00:20:37.000 Which means that if the polls are biased, I would say that they're biased against Trump.

00:20:41.000 Because people are saying things to pollsters I'm not sure that they totally believe.

00:20:44.000 Again, Kamala Harris, she's been pouring money into the campaign. 1.00

00:20:47.000 She's gotten all the brat and the joy that she can out of this thing.

00:20:49.000 It's like squeezing blood from a stone at this point.

00:20:52.000 She's got troubles. 1.00

00:20:53.000 She's got real, real troubles.

00:20:55.000 So, for example, yesterday we mentioned The Teamsters Union did not endorse her.

00:20:59.000 Now, they wouldn't endorse Trump because, of course, they're the Teamsters.

00:21:01.000 Why would they possibly do that, despite the fact that 60% of their base actually is going to vote for Donald Trump?

00:21:07.000 But they didn't endorse Kamala.

00:21:08.000 This makes media big mad.

00:21:11.000 So, Dana Bash over at CNN, she was grilling the Teamsters president, Sean O'Brien, saying, well, why aren't you just endorsing Kamala, despite the fact that your members hate her guts?

00:21:22.000 She should maybe get into her district where it voted far Republican, far-right Republican, and maybe find out what the problem is.

00:21:30.000 When I have a problem in a work site and there is criticism, I get right in there and find out what the problem is.

00:21:36.000 What do you mean vote as far-right Republican?

00:21:38.000 She's a Democrat.

00:21:40.000 Oh, you mean among teamsters?

00:21:41.000 In our polling, New York, her district, voted overwhelmingly Republican to support former President Trump.

00:21:47.000 So she may want to focus on her job instead of mine. 0.57

00:21:53.000 Yes, well, I mean, that is correct.

00:21:55.000 I love the media are so mad at the Teamsters.

00:21:57.000 Listen, if your candidate is going over like a lead balloon, that's your fault, man.

00:22:01.000 AOC also very disappointed in Sean O'Brien's leadership and also the death of Hizballah members.

00:22:05.000 Those are the two things she was very upset about yesterday, was Hizballah members getting blown up by beepers and also the Teamsters union.

00:22:12.000 I'm very disappointed in Sean O'Brien's leadership.

00:22:15.000 I have found it increasingly alarming all year, his campaigning with Republicans, coming out in favor of anti-choice Senate candidates, coming out and campaigning increasingly with Republicans.

00:22:30.000 I find this to be very confusing.

00:22:38.000 It is confusing.

00:22:38.000 It is confusing when, you know, the Teamsters don't love the socialistic candidate who will destroy the American middle class.

00:22:45.000 That is confusing to former bartender and noted genius, Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. 0.88

00:22:50.000 Even Politico at this point is noting that Kamala Harris is having real trouble in the Rust Belt. 1.00

00:22:55.000 Quote, as Vice President, Kamala Harris has been part of an administration that's poured more than $50 billion into Rust Belt industry and infrastructure. 0.79

00:23:01.000 As Democrats' nominee for president, she is hardly mentioning the massive spending as she woos voters in the crucial region.

00:23:06.000 Instead, Harris and her surrogates are focusing their economic pitch on the care economy, policies to expand childcare, make housing more affordable, and help small businesses, the focus of her first economic speech in August, as well as a new TV ad.

00:23:18.000 It's a major pivot from her current boss, President Biden, who made rebuilding domestic manufacturing a core part of his message to voters.

00:23:23.000 Why?

00:23:23.000 Wanna know why?

00:23:24.000 Because she's appealing to ladies. 1.00

00:23:25.000 That's why.

00:23:26.000 What's the difference between the message of, we're giving money to childcare, and we are going to pour money into subsidies for manufacturing?

00:23:32.000 The sex of the recipients.

00:23:34.000 That is the reason why Kamala Harris has shifted her focus. 1.00

00:23:36.000 It's also why she's bleeding support among white, blue-collar men.

00:23:41.000 It's a major problem.

00:23:42.000 By the way, it's about to get a lot worse.

00:23:43.000 Because next week, there's going to be a major strike, a port strike, on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico by October 1st.

00:23:51.000 And Joe Biden is not going to invoke a federal law to prevent it.

00:23:53.000 He's not going to do that because he's afraid of pissing off the unions in advance of the election.

00:23:57.000 But it's going to be a big reminder to the American people that a Kamala Harris presidency Would mean that the unions run the government. 1.00

00:24:04.000 She also has been bleeding Jewish support.

00:24:07.000 A new Siena College poll shows Jewish New York voters actually favoring Donald Trump overall, which is an astonishing statistic. 1.00

00:24:14.000 That is a crazy statistic.

00:24:17.000 Understand that Jews generally in the United States are not a religious group.

00:24:21.000 Many people who perceive themselves to be Jewish don't in any way have a connection to Judaism or the state of Israel or Jewish practice or anything like that.

00:24:28.000 They just say they're Jewish because they were born Jewish or because it means that they can say in intersectional circles that they're not one of those terrible white people or whatever.

00:24:37.000 But Jews traditionally have voted very, very democratic.

00:24:40.000 Donald Trump, the most pro-Israel president in American history, last time around he won about 30% of the Jewish vote.

00:24:45.000 Well, in this new Siena College poll, Jewish New York voters favor Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, 54 to 46.

00:24:54.000 She's bleeding Jewish votes because she's spending all of her time trying to pander to terrorist supporters in Michigan. 1.00

00:25:00.000 That, by the way, isn't even helping her.

00:25:03.000 Apparently, yesterday, a national pro-Palestinian group announced it will not endorse Vice President Harris.

00:25:07.000 So despite the fact that they have basically captured her incoming administration, It doesn't matter, they're still not going to endorse her.

00:25:14.000 Because the minute they do, they're afraid that she is going to draw some sort of middle line between the terrorists and the Israelis. 0.74

00:25:21.000 That is the problem for Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:25:23.000 By the way, that problem is also going to exacerbate before the election because Israel is upping its action, as it should, in Lebanon. 0.86

00:25:29.000 Israel has made it an explicit war goal, supported by literally everyone in the Israeli government, right to left, to return the residents of Israel to the north.

00:25:37.000 The entire north of Israel has been depopulated by Hezbollah rocket fire.

00:25:41.000 Earlier today, Israel dropped a bomb in Beirut and likely killed the number two in Hezbollah.

00:25:46.000 The possibility of a very serious escalatory military action in Lebanon, meaning Israel actually goes and takes out Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, that's a very real possibility and it's likely going to happen inside the next few weeks.

00:25:59.000 So that is a full-scale problem for her because it gets her caught between her pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah supporters and Jews who actually think that, you know, people have a right to defend themselves against terror groups. 0.55

00:26:12.000 There are a lot of embedded problems for Kamala Harris.

00:26:13.000 And those embedded problems for Kamala Harris don't stop there.

00:26:15.000 You know, we mentioned the upcoming looming port strike, which is not going to be good for her.

00:26:21.000 One of the other problems is that the American people still do not perceive her as having a good economic plan.

00:26:26.000 And that is because the Democratic economic plan in general is not good.

00:26:29.000 Take, for example, Janet Yellen.

00:26:31.000 Janet Yellen, the Secretary of the Treasury.

00:26:33.000 Yesterday, she laid out what her economic plan is, which presumably mirrors Kamala Harris's.

00:26:38.000 She says it would be very bad to deport illegal immigrants and also bad to cut taxes, which means higher taxes, more illegals. 0.99

00:26:46.000 That's the Secretary of the Treasury.

00:26:47.000 That is a person allied with Kamala Harris.

00:26:49.000 Here she was yesterday saying it would be devastating to the U.S.

00:26:52.000 economy to deport illegal immigrants.

00:26:55.000 Between 2010 and 2018, immigrants made up, I believe, 60% of all additions to the labor force.

00:27:06.000 They obviously contribute to the dynamism of the U.S.

00:27:09.000 economy.

00:27:13.000 We need, I believe, an orderly immigration system.

00:27:18.000 And there's obviously work to do for Congress to work with the administration to accomplish

00:27:25.000 that.

00:27:26.000 But I think it would be devastating to simply remove that number of immigrants. 1.00

00:27:37.000 Devastating to deport illegal immigrants.

00:27:39.000 By the way, not a popular position with the American people.

00:27:41.000 Also, says Janet Yellen, we can't afford tax cuts.

00:27:44.000 Tax cuts are bad.

00:27:45.000 So remember, you have to pay more taxes so illegal immigrants can come in and take low-wage jobs. 1.00

00:27:50.000 Very, very important, according to Janet Yellen.

00:27:53.000 If the entire tax cut is just extended and nothing is allowed to expire, I believe the Congressional Budget Office Is estimated that over 10 years, that would be almost a $5 trillion blow to the overall budget deficit.

00:28:15.000 And honestly, I really believe that's something the United States can't afford.

00:28:23.000 Right, so we can't afford tax cuts, we can't afford massive new federal spending.

00:28:26.000 By the way, one of the reasons why they want more illegal immigrants? 1.00

00:28:29.000 According to a new study from JustFacts, a non-profit research institute, 10 to 27% of non-citizens adults in the United States are now illegally registered to vote.

00:28:39.000 The U.S.

00:28:40.000 Census recorded more than 19 million adult non-citizens living in the United States during 2022.

00:28:44.000 Given their voter registration rate, this means about 2 to 5 million of them are illegally registered to vote.

00:28:50.000 How many of them will actually vote?

00:28:51.000 We don't know.

00:28:52.000 That is not good.

00:28:53.000 Well, it's a risky world out there, but why not make that risk a little bit more fun by betting with BetOnline?

00:29:56.000 Also, it's been pretty obvious for a while that Democrats would love to mass amnesty these folks and turn them into voters immediately.

00:30:02.000 So, do you see what the plans are?

00:30:04.000 Do the plans sound indicative of something good for you?

00:30:07.000 Or are we still gonna do the brat, and the vibes, and the energy, and all the rest of this nonsense?

00:30:12.000 Speaking of illegal immigration, yesterday retired Border Patrol Sector Chief Heitke, he came out and he testified, Aaron Heitke, he testified before Congress that he was told by the Biden-Harris administration not to release information on illegal immigrants with ties to terrorism.

00:30:27.000 That's how bad the illegal immigration problem is in this country.

00:30:31.000 In San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest aliens.

00:30:35.000 These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism.

00:30:38.000 Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year.

00:30:44.000 Once word was out the border was far easier to cross.

00:30:47.000 San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year.

00:30:56.000 These are only the ones we caught.

00:30:58.000 At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests.

00:31:05.000 The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.

00:31:11.000 Yes, this administration has been a failure on every possible front.

00:31:14.000 But there is good news.

00:31:15.000 If Kamala Harris were to become president of the United States, you know who we would get to see more of, much more of? 0.62

00:31:21.000 Hillary Clinton.

00:31:22.000 I know, you're thinking to yourself, wow, what else do I get in this amazing package deal?

00:31:26.000 If this thing comes with leprosy, I'm in.

00:31:29.000 But Hillary says that she would love to serve in a Harris administration. 0.99

00:31:33.000 Oh, goody gumdrops.

00:31:37.000 If there is a Harris-Walz administration, that you would want to play a part in it, whether officially or unofficially.

00:31:46.000 Well, certainly unofficially, I want to be as helpful as I can, and would do anything I was asked to be helpful.

00:31:52.000 We have so much to do that it really should be all hands on deck, and anybody who can help in any capacity should be willing to do so.

00:32:02.000 Mm.

00:32:03.000 Get ready for some Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:32:04.000 You ready?

00:32:05.000 You want some more of that?

00:32:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you up for this?

00:32:08.000 This is the ticket that you want?

00:32:09.000 Seriously?

00:32:10.000 By the way, speaking of non-normies, I do love that in American politics we've now reached the point where Hillary Clinton is considered a relative normie.

00:32:16.000 She is not.

00:32:17.000 Here's Hillary Clinton opening up about her marriage to Bill and what they do in the mornings. 0.99

00:32:22.000 Every marriage I'm aware of has ups and downs.

00:32:25.000 Not public, hopefully, for everyone else.

00:32:29.000 And you have to make the decisions that are right for you.

00:32:31.000 And I would never tell anybody else, stay in a marriage, leave a marriage, whatever the easy answer is.

00:32:38.000 And, you know, for me and for us, I think it's fair to say we are so grateful that at this stage of our life, We have our grandchildren.

00:32:52.000 We have our time together.

00:32:54.000 You know, I write about how we start the morning playing Spelling Bee in bed.

00:32:58.000 And, you know, Bill is, like, such a great player.

00:33:01.000 He gets to Queen Bee almost immediately, it feels like.

00:33:05.000 We just have a good time.

00:33:07.000 We have a good time sharing this life that we've lived together for now nearly 50 years of marriage.

00:33:16.000 Mm-hmm.

00:33:18.000 These are the normies.

00:33:19.000 These are the people we've been nominating in this country for far, far, far, far too long.

00:33:23.000 That's a lady who tried to cover up her husband's allegations. 1.00

00:33:27.000 That's who that is.

00:33:29.000 That Hillary Clinton. 0.99

00:33:30.000 By the way, if you believe that they share a bed, Unless Bill Clinton's prostate gave out, that is not true in any way, shape, or form.

00:33:38.000 Again, when I say return to normies, I'm not talking about Joe Schmoe on the street or something.

00:33:43.000 You want people who actually know how to do policy and who actually study policy.

00:33:45.000 What I mean is normal people who know how to do a thing.

00:33:50.000 Just as I think that you should hire normie accountants, normal people who are not in their off hours going to parties underneath the towers of New York City.

00:34:00.000 So you know, do your accounting.

00:34:02.000 Normal people who aren't spending their off hours going to weird sites and posting about how they love to do your plumbing.

00:34:12.000 I don't know.

00:34:13.000 Is it just me?

00:34:14.000 I don't know.

00:34:14.000 I feel like we've gone a little bit off the rails here.

00:34:17.000 Well, folks, Kamala Harris may not understand appealing to male voters, but there are, in fact, men who still believe in the American dream.

00:35:31.000 Also, this Sunday, we're releasing a brand new episode of the Sunday special with Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:35:35.000 He's an American business leader, New York Times bestselling author, former Republican presidential candidate.

00:35:40.000 In the episode, we talk about how conservatives should be messaging to win this election season and the need to redefine America first.

00:35:47.000 Here's a bit of the trailer.

00:35:49.000 I think the idea that we, the people, actually can be trusted to govern ourselves, for better or for worse, which acknowledges that we're going to be trade-offs, sometimes we'll get it wrong.

00:35:59.000 The idea that you get to speak your mind openly and express any opinion, no matter what that opinion is, no matter how heinous it is to me.

00:36:04.000 The fact that you get to express that opinion as long as I get to in return.

00:36:07.000 The fact that you get to practice your religion, whatever that religion is, as long as you're not hurting somebody else in the process.

00:36:12.000 That is who we are.

00:36:13.000 That's what made America great the first time.

00:36:15.000 Don't miss this amazing episode of the Sunday Special with Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:36:23.000 Joining us on the line is Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:36:25.000 So we're having Vivek on because number one, he actually does have a film in theaters right now.

00:36:31.000 It's a film called City of Dreams.

00:36:32.000 Also, he is our guest on the Sunday Special this Sunday.

00:36:35.000 Sat down with him a little bit earlier this week.

00:36:37.000 Here's what it sounded like.

00:36:38.000 First of all, congratulations on executive producing the movie.

00:36:42.000 Talk to me about City of Dreams.

00:36:43.000 What made you want to get involved with this film?

00:36:46.000 Yeah, look, one of the things I've realized, Ben, is that after a year of running for president, the change we're going to drive in this country is not just going to be through politics.

00:36:53.000 And for me, it's been refreshing this year to take on a number of projects in the private sector where I hope we're driving positive change to address a lot of the issues that I spoke about in the campaign, but in ways that are far outside of partisan politics, and in some cases, Hopefully in many cases, even bringing along people who aren't just in the Republican or conservative echo chamber.

00:37:14.000 And that was one of my goals with this movie, is one of the issues I talked about, many of us have talked about over the last year, is the border crisis.

00:37:20.000 But one of the underbellies of that border crisis is forced child labor right here in the United States. 0.99

00:37:27.000 And I'm not being histrionic, this is not a hyperbole.

00:37:30.000 We claim that slavery ended in the United States in 1860, but there's a different form of forced labor that's unconscionable directly as a consequence of children and even adults, but particularly children, being trafficked in what is a profitable business for cartels across the southern border.

00:37:49.000 So this is a pretty cool movie.

00:37:50.000 It tells the story of one young man, his name is Jesus.

00:37:53.000 It's inspired by his true story of being lured into the United States on false pretenses, ends up in a sweatshop in L.A., forced to work under conditions that are unconscionable.

00:38:04.000 And, you know, no matter how libertarian you are about adults choosing to work in certain conditions, forcing a kid, a minor, to work in those conditions is something we all disagree is wrong.

00:38:14.000 But this is a story of one boy who fights back.

00:38:16.000 And so we hear a lot of statistics often.

00:38:18.000 There's 12 million people living in slavery or conditions of forced labor.

00:38:22.000 Statistics I don't think reach people and they become quickly politicized.

00:38:25.000 But this is a story, a story of just one young man who actually fought back against that system.

00:38:30.000 I don't want to give too much away, but it is a thriller.

00:38:32.000 It's not some sort of hit-you-over-the-head documentary that's preaching at you.

00:38:36.000 As important as some of those fact-exposing films might be, I don't think they end up reaching a lot of people.

00:38:41.000 Most people, by their nature, want to be entertained, so it was important to me that it's an entertaining movie and one that's actually a thriller that keeps people engaged.

00:38:49.000 But through that, I think it exposes an issue that, for too long, I think we have swept under the rug.

00:38:54.000 And the director's story in particular, he's an Indian immigrant in the United States, but his story is equally interesting to me is he's somebody who was born to a father who himself grew up in conditions of forced child labor.

00:39:07.000 So it's very personal to him.

00:39:08.000 I think that authenticity comes through in this movie about this boy from Mexico who is trafficked into the United States.

00:39:15.000 And one of my goals with this movie is, I hope, we're able to reach people who otherwise would dismiss in the context of a debate like the one that we had last night, or in the context of forums where you and I would usually appear, being on the defensive, pushing back against what Kamala Harris and Joe Biden actually have done at the border, and then we're at an impasse with at least 40 or 30 percent of the country.

00:39:35.000 I hope for even that 30 or 40 percent of the country, they're able to watch this movie.

00:39:40.000 I think most people We find it difficult to get through this movie without being in tears by the end of it in a way that allows us to have a consensus that I think is natural in the country, but in a hyper-partisan environment, we're not able to reach in adopting basic policies that would put an end to this type of child trafficking.

00:39:59.000 And so I hope that the movie has an impact.

00:40:01.000 I think it already has.

00:40:02.000 And I think it's going to take off at a scale that is a steady build.

00:40:06.000 And by this time next year, I think this is going to be one of the great award-winning movies looking back on 2024.

00:40:12.000 Well, Vivek, congrats on the movie.

00:40:13.000 It's awesome.

00:40:14.000 What's the best place for people to see it?

00:40:15.000 It's in theaters right now, correct?

00:40:17.000 Yeah, it's in theaters.

00:40:18.000 It's probably most theaters across the country, at least in most cities that are near you, and I think it's going to grow in the number of people that are able to reach it.

00:40:25.000 CityofDreamsMovie.com, that's where you can check it out.

00:40:29.000 It was my honor to work with There's not a conservative cadre behind this.

00:40:34.000 We, I think, have a wide range of folks from Tony Robbins to Sylvester Stallone to others who have gotten behind this movie in a big way, and I hope people are able to at least open their eyes to the problem.

00:40:45.000 I have to say, even if I may admit this myself, Yes, I talked a lot about the importance of fixing the trafficking issue at the southern border when I started my campaign last year.

00:40:54.000 But I have to admit, even I did not have a full grasp of the scale of this problem in the United States.

00:41:02.000 It's one of those things when you hear it first, you might wonder, is this actually real?

00:41:06.000 Is this some sort of hyperbole?

00:41:07.000 This can't be possibly happening in the United States.

00:41:10.000 But it turns out, once you open your eyes, it's actually ubiquitous at a scale that we are reluctant to admit.

00:41:18.000 And this shouldn't be an issue of left versus right.

00:41:20.000 Sadly, it has become politicized.

00:41:22.000 I think in some ways, even this movie, the fact that it touches this uncomfortable truth, I think has made it hard for a lot of people on the left to even publicly get behind this film, even though they would privately acknowledge that this is a major issue that they care about.

00:41:36.000 So I hope we're able to cut through that and both through this and You know, other things that I've tried to do in the private sector.

00:41:41.000 I've got a book coming out later this month.

00:41:44.000 Ben, you and I have talked about some of my past books, and maybe we can talk about the next one when it comes out.

00:41:49.000 I'm trying to drive change as much through our culture as through American politics.

00:41:53.000 And when we have a country to save, I think it's going to take all of those fronts to hopefully revive who we are.

00:41:58.000 Well, Vivek Ramaswamy, go check out his brand new movies, executive producer, cityofdreamsmovie.com, or go to your local theater and check it out.

00:42:05.000 Vivek, congrats on the movie.
